In the Weeds is a podcast about life at the University of Georgia Warnell School of Forestry and Natural Resources. Listen to stories of students and faculty as they navigate hands-on learning and new ideas in issues of sustainability, natural resources, and wildlife management.
This season's episodes were produced by Warnell students as part of a special podcasting class. This episode was created and produced by Justine Smith, a master's student studying feral hogs in South Georgia.

Roads Less Taken Through Georgia
Over a two-week period, students in Warnell's parks and recreation field camp traveled the state to learn about tourism, natural resources, and environmental education. What they didn't anticipate learning, though, was how much fun it was to get their hands dirty and volunteer. Student Rachel Bink takes us behind the scenes to learn about the process.
